Jack enjoys watching the top guys to this day. However, it is most important he sees himself as one of the top guys if he is to ascend to the top 5. His forehand is as good as Nadal’s forehand. He is probably best hope of another American male slam champion.

Bobby; Jack is very confident and he has said quotes this year that he does see himself among the ATP elites and he feels he is going to be a deep draw contender at majors – I’ve seen and heard Sock say this and seeing how he’s playing I believe that big breakout in singles is coming this year and sooner than later –
